Building New Futures - Regeneration
Building New Futures

There is a lot happening within
our neighbourhood and one of the most exciting things taking
place at the moment is the regeneration in Muirhouse
and Pennywell.
Investment in our community is taking place and the
first thing that you may have noticed are the new Council
homes that have been built opposite Craigroyston Community High
School. The construction of many more homes started over the
summer months on the site of the former Craigroyston High School
next to Ferry Road. Housebuilding will continue down Pennywell
Road to Muirhouse Parkway over the next eight to ten years as part
of the City of Edinburgh Council's 21st Century Homes house
building programme.
Construction on a brand new NHS led partnership
centre will also begin this year. The centre will have a new
General Practice capacity to meet the needs of up to 5000
additional patients.
The City of Edinburgh Council is also looking
at other possible improvements to the area around the shopping
centre and library.
All of the regeneration activity will help
to create new and improved homes and services. It will
also bring training and employment opportunities alongside other
benefits to the community. In order to deliver these improvemets,
we are working with partners through Improving Muirhouse and
Pennywell Group, Total Craigroyston
and the wider community.
This section of the website will be
updated regularly so please look in from time to time to see what's
happening and if there are opportunities to get
involved.
